But I swear, this bit about Romney not liking animals because he strapped a dog carrier to the top of his car and transported his dog in it has me wondering just what kind of wimps are running the Democrat campaign. Well no, that&#8217;s not entirely true. I confess that I&#8217;ve considered David Axelrod a wimp since the first time I heard his whiny voice. Can you imagine that wussified elitist standing in front of a formation and calling out commands? Or running beside one and calling cadence? Didn&#8217;t think so.<br \/>\nSo what, exactly, are the Democrats flapping their gums about in the Doggie Wars? Flapping ears? What, in their minds, was wrong with what Mitt Romney did in strapping Seamus, his setter, in a canine carrier on top of his car, granting Fido his fondest wish? It seems Axelrod and the Democrats are as out of touch with dogs as they are with ordinary people.<br \/>\nAnyone who&#8217;s spent any time at all around dogs knows that the very thing canines love most about cars, well other than lifting a leg on alloy wheels, is an open window to poke their heads from as the oncoming airflow pushes back their gums into a joyful grin and their ears flap wildly about their heads. Out here in cowboy country, the border collies run freely in the backs of pickups and one thing you can bet the rent money on is that when the vehicle is in motion, the dogs&#8217; muzzles are facing into the wind. Follow one of the trucks down the highway and you will often see the mutts running back and forth, from one side to the other, poking their noses around the cab. It almost appears that they are seeking the side with the greatest wind velocity.<\/p>\n<p>This is such a universal behavior that I recently asked our country veterinarian about it. She grinned and responded, &#8220;You know, you&#8217;re right&#8230;they do seem to love the wind, don&#8217;t they? I have no idea why.&#8221; So, while the why remains a mystery, the fact that dogs love the wind in their faces every bit as much as bikers, remains an observable truth. But the real mystery &#8220;why&#8221; is, &#8220;Why did the Democrats make Seamus an issue in the first place?&#8221; Why all the flapping gums over flapping ears? Good grief, please don&#8217;t anyone show those Democrat pussies <a href=\"http:\/\/poisonedpets.com\/2011\/05\/05\/navy-seal-dogs-kick-ass\/\">these pictures<\/a> or they&#8217;ll be soiling their silkies. Furthermore, the thought just occurred to me that those SEAL&#8217;s are making those poor puppies jump out of perfectly good aircraft because their chain of command has ordered them to do precisely that. <\/p>\n<p>And guess who sits atop that chain.<br \/>\nAhem&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>This is turning into <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/OTUS\/john-mccain-jokes-president-obama-eating-sons-dog\/story?id=16174647#.T5Khe9W8jzN\">a real dog-eat-dog situation<\/a> for you-know-who.<\/p>\n<p>POSTSCRIPT: a talking head on FOX just reminded me that you-know-who likes to take all the credit for the success of the raid on Osama bin Laden. Well, excuse me, Mr. Axelrod, but doesn&#8217;t that mean that your dog-eating Dear Leader<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MZt94CVCOY4\"> directly and deliberately caused a canine to come under hostile fire<\/a>? Omigod, the horror of it all! And Axelrod wanted a Doggie War? What&#8217;s next in his brilliant strategy, attacking Romney because he didn&#8217;t have to pay his own college tuition?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know&#8230;it&#8217;s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
